Spoiler:
To answer all you questions and to provide you a summary, here you go.

When the movie starts, you see Reno flying into the Northern Crater in a helicopter. What you dont know is that 2 of Rufus's bodyguards are down there retriving something. Reno escapes, and that is the end of that.

2 Years after the events of FF7, Cloud still hasnt come to terms with his past. He cant forgive himself for Aerith's death at the hands of Sepiroth, and seems depressed and full of greif. Flash to the movie. Cloud lives in 7th Heaven in a ruined church, along with orphans who contracted Geostigma. Geostigma is the result of Jenova's cells entering the life stream and becoming one with it. Children usually are the ones that have Geostigma, but every soldier (and all those who worked on the Jenove project at Shin-Ra) have Geostigma. It is characterized by black markings on the skin, insanity, depression, and it can even kill you. Cloud suffers from it, but he choses to hide it under a arm cloak. One day while heading back to 7th Heaven, 3 mysterious people show up where he planted the rusted Buster Sword in the ground as a reminder of days past. These are the 3 villians of the movie; Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz. Kadaj is the center guy, basically a homocidal maniac out to find "mother" (aka, Jenova if your a retard).

Yazoo is the guy on Kadaj's right. He is a pretty quite kind of guy, but he has one hell of a aim with his gunblade "Velvet Nightmare". Yazoo has the better fight scenes for the most part, but enough of that.

Loz is on Kadaj's left. He is the oldest of the 3 "brothers", but also the most emotional. In short: He is a crybaby... He fights with his fist mostly, but he also has his weapon "Dual Hound" which allows him to move at very incredibly fast speeds, and do incredible anounts of damage with it. It is a split between what people think it does. It either shocks you with electricty, or it can hit you with a shockwave of sound/air (as seen in the Tifa-Loz fight scene).

Back to the desert now. Kadaj spots Cloud on his motorcycle, and believes he has "mother" with him. Loz and Yazoo take off on their motorcycles, and fight it out with Cloud. Yazoo shoots Cloud's googles off, making him have a cut on his face. A clear winner is not determined, for Kadaj calls them back when he finds out "mother" is not with him.

Cloud gets a call from Tifa, and heads to the Healin lodge. As soon as Cloud walks in, Reno attacks him. Cloud blocks his Asp, but Reno isnt done. He attacks again, this time Cloud steps out of his way and slams the door shut, locking him out. Rude comes out (To which Reno says: "Rude, your so cool!!"), but Cloud gets the drop on him before he can even move to attack with his Asp. Rufus rolls his robed butt out, making Cloud confused. Didnt he die back at the Mako Generator? WRONG. He made it out, but it left him slightly crippled and in a wheel chair.

Rufus enlightens Cloud about Kadaj, and what he plans to do if he finds "mother". Kadaj wants to bring about a new Reunion, and basically wipe the all the people on the planet out. Rufus needs a new bodyguard, since Tseng and Elena were "killed" at the Northern Crater. Cloud grudingly agrees, and leaves. Later after that, Kadaj breaks into the lodge and takes Rufus by force, for only he knows "mothers" whereabouts. Meanwhile, back at 7th Heaven, Yazoo gathers all the children with Geostigma into a truck bound for Ajit. Kadaj needs 2 more things now, "mother" and Materia. He sends Loz to get the Materia from Cloud, but Loz finds Tifa there instead of Cloud. Tifa tears Loz a new one, but as Tifa is about to take Marlene and leave, the FF win theme plays. Guess who is still alive? Loz busts up from under a pew, and wips out his cell. He talks for a moment, before getting serious. He opens the Dual Hound, moves so fast he gets behind Tifa, and hits her with it in the process. Afterwards, he slams her into a coloum, and tosses her aside. He takes Marlene and the Materia and leaves.

Cloud finds Tifa in the church, and finds out what happens. They all decide that Cloud should head to Ajit to save the childrens. So he rides out to save them. Meanwhile, Kadaj infuses himself with a Materia before talking to the children he rounded up. He brain washes them into beleiving that he can cure Geostigma, and that the world hates them (thats why it cursed them with Geostigma. They all drink Kadaj's black water, which appears to be a part of himself. It makes them mindless puppets under his control.

Cloud is now nearing the lake in Ajit where Kadaj is. While riding, he flashed to the afterlife, and talks with Aerith. He asks her forgiveness, but she says that she can not do that. Only Cloud himself can forgive himself. He snaps back to reality seconds before Yazoo and Loz start shooting at him. Kadaj calls his smally army of kids in as a shield, making Cloud drop his swords and slide to the ground. Kadaj steps up to him, and begins to confront him, calling him a traitor. Kadaj is about to cut Cloud's head off, when Marlene yells out. Cloud grabs his sword, and the fight is on. Kadaj leaves the engagment, and watches as Loz and Yazoo go against Cloud. They seem almost equal, until Cloud breaks to attack Kadaj. Now its 3 on one. Cloud gets outclassed due to his Geostigma acting up, and is about to bit it hard. Suddenly, a red tatterted cape swoops in, covering Cloud. It fires at Kadaj, making him back away. Yazoo and Loz shoot at it, but their bullets burn up when they hit the cloak. It sweeps Cloud away to another part of Ajit.

If you couldnt guess who it was, it was Vincent. He knows what is happening, as well as knowing that Cloud has Geostigma. He reveals a theory of how Geostigma affects people, and just what Kadaj really wants to do. Marlene somehow tracks them down, and finds them. Cloud wants Vincent to take Marlene back to the Bar, but Vincent refuses. Cloud finally agrees to take Marlene along. Before they part ways, Cloud asks if it was possible to forgive yourself. Vincent says he has never tried to do it, which gives Cloud some hope that you can possibly forgive yourself. They part ways for the time being.

END OF THE SUMMARY OF THE 1st HALF OF THE MOVIE!!!
